Take a Number

4.2/5 ( ratings)

What seems like a messy divorce just might be murder when feisty female sleuth Jeri Howard returns after Till the Old Men Die. Jeri is working for a battered wife against her husband, a Petty Officer First Class who, his wife suspects, has some big bucks stashed away. But he has other more vicious secrets as well.

“Sam Raynor was the biggest slug that ever oozed across my path,” says Oakland PI Jeri Howard. “Anyone who wanted to kill him would have to take a number and get in line.”

Raynor is a liar, a cheat, an abuser who brutalized his wife Ruth. She has filed for divorce and hired Jeri Howard to find the money her husband claims he doesn’t have. When Raynor winds up with a bullet in his back, the prime suspect is Ruth. But Jeri, working hard to keep her client out of jail, discovers a long, long line of suspects.
